It’s hard to believe that our two hooligans are in fact two years old! It’s safe to say there hasn’t been a dull day because one way or another both Kiki and Zamba make us giggle daily, and I cant thank them enough for it.
It’s been two years since we suddenly lost Zara and our hearts were shattered into a million pieces! But it has also been two years of slowly repairing our broken hearts and learning to love again when we didn’t think it was possible.
When I first laid eyes on Kiki, she completely took my breath away because she was so tiny! As the saying goes though, dynamite comes in small packages and oh boy did Kiki come into our home with a boom! She has a spark in her that I can relate to being an Aires myself. It’s a spark I hope she never looses because in all honesty it makes Kiki, Kiki.
Then I cast my eyes on Zamba and instantly burst into tears because obviously he reminded me of Zara simply because he is a Rottweiler too. But thats where the resemblance stays. We didn’t want to ‘replace’ Zara, however Zara is the girl who changed our perception as a family on the Rottweiler breed. And for that I can never thank her enough! In all his fluffy glory, my baby bear Zamba sat there, looked into my eyes and I just knew he was my boy! He has grown into the most goofiest, mischievous and needy but oh so lovable boy I could ever have dreamed of!
So today we celebrate the day that both Kiki and Zamba stepped into our hearts and we fell head over heels in love…
No celebration would be complete without a birthday cake, so here is the recipe for Kiki and Zamba’s Gotcha Day Cakes.
